Sweden just expanded the Nordic Model, or "End Demand," to the internet. But we already know criminalization, including criminalizing buyers, is harmful policy www.404media.co/sweden-sex-w...

Criminalizing buyers works quite well in Sweden and most Nordic countries. Porn is not and will not be illegal, sexual exploitation irrespective whether it occurs online or offline is. This article does misrepresent reality.

Works well for whom?

The politicians?

Human beings?

Rather unspecific, no one benefits from being evicted or harassed by the police while committing no crime.

Women with there Moms for liberty and men saying it’s about the children that is a weak argument to make you want to like George Orwell just say it shut up and apologize and leave those workers alone

Answering Sweden's rape crisis of 10+ years post Muslim invasion, largely banned & censored from social media, seeks to stop exciting sex offenders lacking self control but still ignores root probs of sex repression
Sweden had no probs w sexuality before & their films were risqué by French standards

Sweden is doubling down on failure.

That's all that the right wing knows to do to solve the problem.Whenever they have a real problem to solve they turn to mess with vaginas because they know it will focus all attention to that and forget the real issue. They can't fix the economy or crime but they can distract with Idiocracy rules.

It's also about making anyone into a criminal.

NCOSE ("Morality in Media") is a chief proponent for bringing Sweden's "Nordic model" to the United States. They've also campaigned for the government to censor everything from Cosmopolitan to Monty Python to Robert Mapplethorpe.

Mapplethorpe photos were responsible for spreading AIDS, they said.

i really don't like that they are allowed to call themselves something that hides what they are

mikestabile.bsky.social•10 days ago

In public, they talk about workers. In private, they talk about that people might enjoy it, that husbands might *want* it, or in a NCOSE report this year, that with porn, "obscure sexual practices and fantasies become normalized"

They're worried that porn turns you gay.

Oh no someone might like a thing different from the things u like the horror 😭

I know this is written by people who think it's a bad thing, but they're accidentally making porn sound incredibly cool.

shame that in practice when that does happen it mostly becomes a pissing contest over who can wank to the most abstruse concepts

The antiporn movement isn't about stopping abuse — if it were, they'd be fighting for workers rights — its about policing private sexuality.

I mean, this is the same group that blamed gun violence on mass murder.

They don't care about safety, they care about censorship.
